Fold Holdings Lists on Nasdaq—First Public Company Focused on Bitcoin

• Bitcoin-focused financial services firm Fold Holdings is seeking a Nasdaq listing under the ticker symbol “FLD” to enhance transparency and access to institutional capital.
• Fold’s platform has facilitated over $2.5 billion in transactions and attracted 600,000 customers. Its vision includes integrating BTC rewards into daily financial transactions.

Fold Holdings, Inc., a Bitcoin-focused financial services firm, has formally joined the Nasdaq Capital Market. The company trades on the public exchange with ticker symbols “FLD” for common stock and “FLDDW” for warrants. This comes after Fold’s February 14, 2025, business merger, which also involved a name change from FTAC Emerald Acquisition Corp.

Bitcoin-Focused Fold’s Nasdaq Listing Amid Growing Institutional Interest

As it goes public, Fold positions itself in line with expanding institutional interest in Bitcoin and demand for compliant crypto-based financial solutions. Through its Nasdaq listing, the company will have greater access to capital markets and will be subject to public reporting requirements. Such obligations should enhance transparency while helping to boost its credibility with institutional customers as well as retail consumers.

The firm seeks to incorporate BTC into mainstream financial products, situating the asset within regular financial transactions. With its platform, Fold has facilitated over $2.5 billion worth of transactions and has acquired over 600,000 customers.

Will Reeves, Fold Holdings’ CEO, highlighted the firm’s vision after the business combination. In a press release, he said,

We believe this transformative business combination positions Fold to advance the vision of building a gateway to Bitcoin-based financial services and expanding access to wealth creation for our users.

Also, it’s worth noting that Fold is creating financial products focused on BTC adoption, solidifying its position as a bridge between digital assets and conventional financial systems. One of its major initiatives is to incorporate BTC rewards into financial services, enabling consumers to build up Bitcoin as part of their everyday transactions, as noted in our previous article. 

Moreover, the latest news of Fold going public could have played a role in pushing the BTC price up amid a bearish and volatile market. As of writing, the BTC price stood at $95,953.17, up by 0.45% on Wednesday, February 19.

Latest Partnership & Cashback Rewards

In a partnership with Visa that is strategic, Fold launched the Fold Bitcoin Rewards Credit Card on February 11. The credit card is positioned to integrate BTC rewards into habitual spending patterns. It rewards members with up to 2% back in Bitcoin and $250 in incentives, on top.

In addition to cashback rewards, the card offers access to a range of financial services. Customers can make use of insured Bitcoin custody options, trade Bitcoin fee-free, and handle FDIC-insured transactional accounts. By building out its Bitcoin-centric financial services, Fold has further solidified its position in the digital asset market while offering users alternative savings and reward mechanisms.
